Seattle Hadoop Distributing Computing User Meeting

==================================================

    Bringing Hadoopists Together On the 3rd

        Thursday of the Month

We focus predominately on distributed data

processing using a map reduce style. The meetings

are open to all and free of charge. 

When: Thursday April 21st, 7:00 pm room,  7:15 start - 8:45

Where: University Heights Community Center, Room 110

Outline for April 21st:

Serialization Super Special!

We will cover Avro the up and coming cross platform

data serialization and RPC mechanism targeted at

Hadoop.

The use of Avro both simplifies and accelerates the

Hadoop workflow by making the inputs and the outputs

to your mappers and reducers more tractable. By

coaelescing many small files into Avro records the

job processing time becomes shorter.

The current outline:

Avro Schema definition and the design of quality

long term data structures.

Examples of reading and writing Avro files in

Java, Python and C

Writing Mapreduce jobs that operate over Avro

files using the AvroMapper and AvroReducer.
